also come whenever her schedule permits.

We cannot make improvements or handle questions or concerns that we are unaware of. If Tamra is unable to be there

during the scheduled time, Amy will still pass along any and all suggestions or comments to Tamra, and we will answer

the appropriate person. Tamra is the Chief Operating Officer for LIFE Senior Services, and it is a pleasure and a privilege

to have her participate in improving our Centers.

*Joke* (continued on next square.)

A jockey is riding a new horse in a hurdle

race. The trainer tells him that when he

approaches the hurdle, he needs to yell

loudly in the horse’s ear, “ALLEEOOP!”

and everything will be fine. The jockey

does not listen, and the horse crashes

right through the first hurdle. This

continues until finally the jockey yells,

“ALLEEOOP!” in the horse’s ear and the

horse sails over the hurdle. After the

race, the jockey is furious. “What’s the

matter with him; is he deaf?” “No,” the

trainer yells back…”He’s blind!” (Heehee)
